True, but he was related to ETs we’d seen before:

ROSE: Is it me or is he a bit Slitheen?

DOCTOR: Not from Raxacoricofallapatorius, are you?

VICTOR: No, I'm not. They're swine. I spit on them. I was born on
their twin planet.

DOCTOR: Really? What's the twin planet of Raxacoricofallapatorius?

VICTOR: Clom.

DOCTOR: Clom.

VICTOR: Clom. Yes
